About Your Trip

This trip is a 6-8 hour fishing trip that could take place at various places across the vast pamlico sound. We will be fishing from a 21 ft skeeter bay boat that can handle chop while getting in very shallow water. There is no mate. It’s just the captain and 3 guests.

Please bring your own snacks and drinks for the day. You can bring a small cooler for your snacks and also bring a cooler if you plan on taking home some fish.

I stay on the fish, but if there is somewhere you would specifically like to fish do not hesitate to ask and I will try my best to accommodate you.

We will be primarily fishing artificial lures, and depending on the time of year we will be chasing speckled trout, red drum, striped bass, and flounder.

Welcome to North Carolina's premier mobile inshore fishing experience. The Pamlico Sound system is too massive to fish from a fixed dock, which is why we go exactly where the fish are. Operating out of the New Bern, NC area, Captain Andrew utilizes over 20 years of local knowledge to track the daily bite, tailoring every single trip to the current weather, tides, and seasonal patterns.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass.

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses.
